System Requirement

Not all USB-C ports support all features of USB-C. Some computers and smartphones only support data over USB-C for external storage such as flash drives while some devices support video and charging over USB-C. Check the below article about the USB-C port capability. If you are not sure, please consult the manufacturer for this information.

Unplug all cables, restart the computer, and then reconnect everything.

Symptom: HDMI does not work at full 4K 60Hz resolution.

The cable supports HDMI 2.0 resolution up to 4K at 60Hz. You will need a 4K 60Hz rated computer and display to take advantage of HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

Some smartphones and laptops such as the LG G5 (1080p) and 12" Macbook (4K@30hz) do not support 4K at 60 Hz video out. Some displays have multiple HDMI input and not all of them are HDMI 2.0 capable so test each HDMI input.
